Spatial variation in satellite-based estimates of primary productivity across the Northeast Pacific subarctic-subtropical front

Senior Thesis written for Oceanography 444 This study compared satellite and ship-based measurements of net primary productivity in the Northeast Pacific Ocean. In general, chlorophyll observations showed the greatest variance between the two sets of observations. Measuring NPP is of critical import...
